The main repo doesn't use wiki pages any more - the embedded docs feature
is preferred because it's versioned along with the rest of the site. Wikis
_are_ versioned but there is no UI for traversing specific versions or
referencing them from [wikiLinks], etc., so they don't tend to get used
much. i use them a bit in my own sites, but half of those are running a
custom Google Code syntax renderer on top of a fossil back-end, using the
JSON API to transport it, e.g.:

http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/wikis/cson/

that's a fossil back-end with a completely custom front-end which reveals
only the wiki to the user.

Here's a similar script for fossil-to-GoogleCode format can probably be
re-used a bit for markdown:

Happy Hacking!
